5 Claims.

This invention relates in general to dividing heads for machine shop tools, such as milling machines, spiral milling machines, drill presses, and the like.

Among the objects of the present invention it is aimed to provide an improved dividing head for machine shop tools, suchas milling machines, spiral milling machines, drill presses, and the like requiring no differential gears or the like, such as disclosed in my atent No. 2,357,329, issued September 5, 1944.

It is still another object of the present invention to provide an improved dividing head characterized by having the indexing holes on the faces thereof arranged in a spiral instead of in a circle and by having a pin receiving device for cooperating with such spiral indexing holes.

It is still another object .of the present invention to provide an improved dividing head characterized by having a reversible control .disk provided with a specially generated spiral row of indexing holes on both sides thereof Vconstituting one of the main parts of the :present invention and a circular row of indexing holes on both sides of the disk. According to well known practice, the circle of holes on either side of the disk may be used with a standard machine shop tool, such as a milling machine, drill press, l.or the like, to control the cutting operations.

.lt is still another object of this invention to provide a scale along which adjustment of index pin arc radius is made, for the purpose of controlling in a direct geometric Way the magnitude of the differential motion, said scale being calibrated in the same angular units as control disk. By controlling differential advance or recession of index pin in scale engraved units of angular hole equivalents of control disk, a direct scale setting can be made to the exact number of holes, plus or minus, required to make a division job come out even.

These and other features, capabilities and advantages of the present invention will appear from the subjoined detail vdescription of one speciic embodiment thereof illustrated in the laccompanying drawings in which Fig. l is an end elevation of the dividing head operatively associated with a work table.

Fig. 2 is a front elevation of the dividinghead showing one face'of the control Adisk drawn to a larger scale than that shown in Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 `is a side elevation partly in section `on the line 3-'3 of Fig. 2 of the dividing head drawn to a scale largerthan that shown in Fig.2.

Fig. 4 is a'section on the line li-ZI of Fig. 2.

A.pin 2 9.

Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 2.

In the embodiment shown, the shaft i is illustrated as journalled in a housing 2 with a Work support, here shown as a work receiving table 3 secured to the upper end thereof. It is, of course, obvious that the shaft I is merely illustrative of the main shaft of a machine shop tool, whether `rotatable about a vertical axis, a horizontal axis, or an inclined axis of any machine shop tool, such as a milling machine, drill press, or the like.

The shaft i is operatively associated with the shaft :i of the dividing head 5. The operative connection between the shaft I and shaft in the present instance is shown as including a Worm E on the shaft li in mesh with a Worm Wheel l on the shaft i. While not limited to a reduction of 40 to l, since the rotation of the driving shaft I generally is Y1 to 40 rotations of the driving shaft l in the standard machine shop tool, it Will be assumed that the reduction here too ,is illustrative of the standard 40 to 1 ratio.

The shaft 4, in the present instance, is journalled in the bearing 3 extending from the housing 2 and the shaft i extends through and beyond the Vbearing 8 to receive the gear sleeve 9 in which the shaft 4 is freely rotatable. The gear `sleeve 9 is typical of the iioating sleeve provided in nearly all heads for spiral milling. When a spiralmilling operation isperformed, the sleeve 5 with its associated parts is, according to standard practice, `operatively connected to rotate With the horizontal `table screw of the milling machine. When ,a dividing or indexing operation -only is performed, the vsleeve 9 is xed to some .sationary part of the frame or housing 2 such as .the extension I, the extension I0 in .the present instance being connected ,by the screw II to .the arm .2B Which has an enlargement I9 provided with an opening to receive the diminished portion lill of ,the sleeve 9, Vwhich enlargement VI 9 in .turn is secured oranchored to the shoulder y.portion I5 of the sleeve 9 by the screws I8. The Yarm v2S 4is connected to the dividing guide, here `shown as a plate or diskz by the spring pressed The spring pressed pin 29 is provided .witha head 3B Ahaving a stem 3| slidably mounted in the housing 32 at the end Vof the ybracket 33 .mounted on the arm 25. The pin 29 has a stud I 34 formed to engage one of the recesses or holes 38 in therear face of the disk '28. This pin 2e is lin turn provided -With a spring t@ tensioned vbetween the shoulder .3l Aand the inner end of thelhousing 32, yieldable tourge the stud i3d out- Ward. Thebracket 33 is mounted on Vthe arm 20 so that the stud |34 may enter and register with one of the holes 36.

The dividing plate 28 is pro-vided with a concentric circular row of holes 36 on each face of the disk or plate. This disk is also provided with a spiral row of holes 45 on each face. This disk 28, as clearly shown in Fig. 3, is rotatably mounted on the diminished portion i4 of the sleeve 9.

In the present instance, each spiral, convolute or helical row of holes 45 consists of ve complete 360 turns. rIhe holes of the ve turns are in turn in alinement with one another radially of the disk 28 and also in alinement with the holes of the row 38. Consequently, each 360 turn of a spiral row 45 has 126 holes or recesses.

Since, in a dividing or indexing operation, the shaft 4 is to be successively turned relative to the disk 28, in the present arrangement the shaft 4 has xed thereto the crank 46 which has operatively connected thereto the pin housing 41 containing the stud or pin 49 for cooperation with one of the holes in the spiral row 45.

For securing the plate 28 in position on the diminished portion i4 of the sleeve 9 against the enlarged portion of arm 29, there is provided a collar 49 which slips on shaft 4 and has a shoulder 58 extending radially to the shaft 4 and engaging the outer or front face of the enlargement 54. The adjustable angle arms 52 and 53 are rotatably mounted relative to the sleeve 49. In the present instance, the arm 52 has the enlargement 54 rotatably mounted on the diminished portion I4 of sleeve 9 and the arm 53 is provided with the enlargement 55 rotatably mounted on the enlargement 54. The ring l99, Fig. 3, is a piston ring type expanding friction means provided to hold sector arms 52 and 53 in position. The enlargement 55 is connected by the set screw 51 to the enlargement 54, and the collar 49 has a ilange 58 engaging the outer face of the enlargement 54, so that the flange 53 in this way anchors both arms 52 and 53 on the diminished portion i4 of the sleeve 9.

The sector arms 52 and 53 are set at the angle necessary to span the required number of index holes and then secured in this position relative to each other by tightening screw 51 which is conventional practice.

The pin housing 41, in the present instance, instead of being secured to an integral part of the crank arm 46, is mounted at the end of an arm 65 which is slidably adjustable in the enlargement 66. The position of the arm 65 in the enlargement 66 may be secured in position by the set screw 61, Fig. 4. The enlargement 65 in turn has an extension 68 extending through the slide block 69, and connected to the slide block 69 by the screw 10. The slide block in turn is provided with a nut 1| to anchor the slide block 69 in position on the slide 12 which is xed to the crank 46, as an instance by being integral with the crank 46 as shown. The slide 12, see Fig. 2, has two slots 13 and 14, the slide block 69 being slidably mounted in the slot 13 in the present setup. One side of the slide 12 is provided with positioning scales and 16. The position of the slide block 69 relative to the scales 15 and 16 will be determined by the pointer 11, see Fig. 4, secured to the slide block 69. The degree of freedom of rotation of the enlargement 66 relative to the slide block 9 will be determined by the set screw 10. The block 69 and indicator 11 are prevented from turning by the slide stud H0, the diminished portion of which III, Fig. 2, serves as'a rivet to secure it to the 4 flange enlargement 2l2, Fig. 3, of the slide block 69. It is slightly shorter than the thickness of the slide 12 to provide clearance for the nut 1I.

It is possible to either gain or lose differentially any number of holes from 20 to 80 over the whole operation.

The curvature of the slides 13 and 14 is plotted or determined as follows: The center of extension 68 constituting the center of the arc |63 is located at the end of the slide, nearest the crank, to lose the greatest number of holes because in this position the index pin swings away from the true center line 3-3 of the crank at the sharpest angle. When the slide block 69 is secured at the other or outer end of the slide 13, the radius of the arc |03 is longer, and the angular departure of the index pin from the center line 3-3 is less abrupt and only a half hole per turn of spiral is lost, or twenty holes during all forty turns. All the intermediate pivot points from 20 to S6 lie along the curved slides 13 and 14 as shown and are indicated by the pointer 11 on the scale 15.

The crank 46 is preferably secured in place on the front end of the shaft 4 by the screw 89.

When it is desired to reverse the disk 28, it is of course only necessary to remove the screw 89 thereby to remove the crank 41 and associated parts, and also the collar 49 which anchors the angle arms 52 and 53 in position to cooperate with the front face of the disk 28. Thereupon after the disk 28 has been reversed and replaced on the sleeve I4, it is only necessary again to position the angle arm assembly 52 and 53, replace the crank 46 and associated parts on the front end of the shaft 4 and replace the screw 89. The pin housing 41, see Fig. 3, is provided with a spring 90 for normally urgingthe pin portion 48 outward, such spring 99 being positioned between the shoulder 9| of the pin 48 and the shoulder 92 of the housing 41. The pin 48 is provided with a shank 93 extending to and beyond the front end of the housing 41, there to receive the control head 94. The housing 41 is also provided with two recesses, a long recess 95 and a short recess 96 to cooperate with the pin 91. When the pin 91 is positioned in the recess 95 as shown, the pin 48 is in extended position to enter an opening in the disk 28, Whereas when the pin 91 is positioned in the recess 96, then the pin 48 just clears the disk 28.

Several disks having different arrangements of holes may be provided without departing from the general spirit of the invention. As an instance, there may be provided a disk having one specially generated spiral row of holes on one face with certain lead characteristics and a certain number of holes per turn and another specially generated spiral row on the other face with substantially the same characteristics but having a diiferent number of holes per turn. A circle cooperates with the spiraly to produce fractional allowances. When the required allowances are even multiples of the ratio of gear reduction to some number of available complete turns of spiral, the circle and the annulus are not used (within certain limits of range capacity) because division is natural, factoral, automatic. When a number of disks having only one spiral and one circle on each side are used, these circles and spirals should be the same distance from the center on all of the plates or disks. This construction would register with iixed position of rest or support 86 radially, also with pin 134@ It has been calculated, as an instance, that two plates, with four spirals (a total of about 4000vholes) will do all numbers from 2 to 454 except four, viz, 353, 359, 378 and 419. By using another plunger pin and single circle of holes (not shown) compounded revolution. This position is indicated by pointer y tov figure 80 on the scale l5. The arc |03 passes through the fourth hole on. the second turn of the spiral showing that the proportion of loss is constant. The effect is the same, therefore, as with a standard plate having 124 holes instead of 126 holes, the number of holes per turn in the plate 28. When the arm 65 is operatively associated with the slot ld, instead of losing holes per turn, it is possible to gain holes perturn, it ofcourse being assumed that the handle 46 will be turned clockwise relative to the disk 26 during 'the operation thereof. In Fig. 2, for instance, if the block 66 were located in the same relative position in the slot 'I4 that it now occupies in the slot '|3, each revolution of the crank handle 46 would intercept 128 holes instead of 124.

In issued Patent No. 2,357,329 the fractional allowance was effected after the plunger pin reached the marker |04 in its course along the spiral and allowance was made for the resulting angular displacement of the pin by providing for an extra stopped movement of sector arm at that time. Return of the plunger pin was invariably made to the first hole of the spiral by turning the index disk so that this hole coincided with the plunger pin at rest.

In order that the sector arms 52 and 53 might be made conventional, it is now allowed that the plunger pin can overrun the marked position |04 automatically to supply the remaining holes necessary to complete the movement. In this way a fractional movement of the sector arms is avoided. The means for doing this is one of the main features of this invention.

When the preceding has taken place the standard headlock |08, Fig. l, is set as before to make sure the shaft 4 will not turn and the pin housing 41 is returned to its rest or support 86. The pin 9| is dropped in the half way hole 96. In this position the pin 43 will just clear the plate 28.

In order that one of the inside holes ofthe spiral (not the first one necessarily) might register with the plunger pin at rest, the index plate is now turned as before but withV this differencea sector ring H2 with two stop screws l|3 and IIS stopping against abutment I I4 is provided to turn the index plate through exactly the correct angle. It is turnably mounted on the index plate. Shoulders I I5 hold it in place.`

With the stop ||3 against the abutment II4, Fig. 2, secure the ring ||2 to the index plate 28 with the screw Il?. The pin |34 is then withdrawn and the index plate with the sector ring turned clockwise until the stop screw ||6 strikes the abutment 'I I@ on the end of the arm 20. Replace pin I 3A and release screw I I1. The correct place for pin ||3 in the circle of numbered and tapped holes IIB is taken from the chart. The number for each hole is engraved on the periphery of the ring II 2. The angle or degree of turn turn of the spiral.

of the index plate is exactly the same as kwith the former arrangement. The present oers the advantage of a positive stop. Later when a specic example is taken up it will be shown how this number for the chart is converted or taken Adirectly from the same proportion as used in '-lPatent No. 2,357,329.

It should also be noted that the gain or loss of any given number of holes is not confined to complete or unit turns of the handle 46. Requirements might make it necessary to lose two holes in one and one-half turns of the handle. lThe radius 'of the arm 65 then would have to be vlonger as indicated on the scale 15. If it had been one and two-thirds turns, the radius would have to be still longer. The choice of fractional turns may be any possible, with the use of the number of holes in the division circle 38 as the denominator of the fraction.

The operator does not have to concern himself about the aforesaid timing of diierential movevment to effect the fractional allowance at the `even hole. It is taken care of for him by a chart to which the setting of a marker or synchronizing point |04 is made. How information for chart plunger pin 48 along arc |03 synchronizes exactly to the even hole with the main forward movement of the centerline 3-3 of crank. It is on 4or after this point that the fracture is made to return index pin to the coinciding hole on first The only reason why it is done this way is that it would not be practical to have all forty turns of the spiral on the index disk. Therefore, five spirals must be used over and over again. Simple proportion is used to figure this point of coincidence marked by |04.

Specific examples will now be given showing the use of a disk having a spiral row of holes 45 with 126 holes per turn. First we will describe an example where the result comes out even and then one where there is a very small error. These factors are mathematically so small that they can easily be ignored. It might be stated that the majority of problems have no correction I factor.

However, to return to the example where the result comes out even: Let it be required to divide the circle into 553 parts. Our base num- `ber will be 5040, that is, 126 times 40 equals `5040,

taking into account the ratio of 40 to 1 of the shaft 4 to the shafty If the base number is 5040 Y and it is divided 'by the number 553, the quotient will be 9 with a remainder of 63. In terms of holes, it will then be necessary to lose 63 holes in they 40 turns of the handle 46. We will Furthermore, if the visible .nine times by the number to be divided,

Formula.

Corrected base number X holes of dilferential per group Number of holes to be lost or gained Number of holes of spiral to marker 104 ,7 Formula applied:

%6=474 holes to the marker Marker is placed `in hole following, or 475th so that index pin can be entered into the 474th. There. are 126 holes per turn so the position of marker |04 is in the m 31 26 97th hole of the fourth turn This point is readily found because the holes are numbered to 126-every sixth hole (numbers not shown). Thesector arms are set 55-3-9 holes apart apart.

Beginning at first hole, division proceeds the same as when using a circle. The sector arms are moved forward each time to space off nine holes yper division. Fifty-two divisions bring plunger pin into 468th hole. The marker now les'only sixholes forward so it must be over-run three holes to complete the 53rd division. Plunger pin is returned to rest 85 after headlock |08 is secured. Using sector ring H2 as previously described, with screw H3 in the 102nd hole, index disk r28 is turned clockwise and again secured with pin |34. The third hole of the first turn of spiral (instead of the rst as formerly) will now be under plunger pin. This is because rthe marker Was over-run three holes to complete 53rd division.` Enter plunger pin into this hole in index disk.. Set sector arms to measure off the 54th division and proceed as before.

Inmaking up chart for sector ring (lose) the 102ml hole for screw i I3 was figured as follows:

The marker indicates the 96th hole of fourth turn. T096 add Ithe six holes differential equals 102. The plate must be turned 102 holes for coincidence-always clockwise to `avoid confusion.

To figure the sector ring setting when the plunger pin is pivoted in the opposite or Gain slideway 74, the above figures for example would be subtracted instead of added, 96-6=90. The stop screw H3 will be placed in the 90th hole. The reason for the dierence is that'when losing holes the plunger pin was six holes behind the centerline of the crank at the marker, whereas on the other hand, if the holes 'were being gained, the plunger pin would be six holes ahead of starting positionthe centerline of the crank.

The next case is an example of how close an uneven problem works out. Let it be required to divide the circle into 383 parts. There will 'be a remainder, a small fractional part of one hole. The original base number 5040 will again be divided by the new number 383 giving a quotient of 13 with a remainder of 61. The corrected denominator then will 'be 4979 which contains the new number to be divided 383 exactly thirteen times. The remainder 61 in terms of holes must, however, 'be lost. This time five holes will be lost to the group in which case di- Vide the remainder 6l by f'lve and the result will be 121/5 groups. Now take the new base number 4979, multiply it 'by five and divide by 61 and the result will be 4087/61. The marker |04 will now be set at the 408+1=409th hole on the spiral, that is, three complete turns of 126 holes and 31 additional holes of the fourth turn. Proportion formula (lose) for checking accuracy: (Group marker number) is to (marker number) plus (differential correction factor per group) as (corrected base number) is to Our proportion will then be 408:408+5::4979:r, in which case a: 'will equal 50407/108. Then, if from this new number 50407A08 is subtracted 5040, the result will be 7/408 and in the terms of holes Will equal a total error of 1/408 of a hole. The ratio is 40 to 1, so there are 5040 holes passed by the handle for every turn of the worm gear and the job, i. e., 126 40=5040. But the error is equal to M08 of the distance between two of these holes. In other words, the error in terms of revolution of the job is reduced 40 to 1 in terms of revolutions of the handle. Stated another way, it would be clear that, if the error was one hole on the dial, then that error would be 1/5040 of one revolution inasmuch as it takes 5040 holes to make a revolution of the job.

But the error is not one hole. It is a very small fractional part of one hole, namely, M08 of one hole. Therefore, the error stated in terms of revolutions of the job, must be proportionately smaller. The correct fractional equivalent is f ound by multiplying the two fractions together, namely, 7/08 multiplied by 1/5040 equals 1/93,760. Translated into terms of revolution of the job, the error is equal to 4&93560 of one revolution, slightly less than four seconds.

To reiterate: For setting the dividing head for number 383, the following information Was obtained from the chart:

1. Spiral marker 3 turns 31 holes 2. Index sector arms 52 and 53:

3. Sector ring l l0. Screw I I3 in 30 plus 5=35th hole Obtained as follows: Marker or coincidence point is 408:3 turns-F30 holes. Add 30 holes and differential correction factor per group (5 holes per group of 408 holes in this case) and the answer is 35.

4. Differential scale setting: 61D This means that indicator 'Il must point to the 61st line of scale 15 of the L or lose slideway 13. It indicates as already explained that 61 holes are to be Lost to make division come out even.

In conclusion, one example on the gain side Will appear from the following: Divide a circle into 169 parts. If the base number 5040 is divided by 169, it is 30 holes short of coming out even. l69 30=5070- Therefore, 30 holes must be gained by differential motion. Using a differential factor of three holes per group, there Will be 10 groups.

1. Then using formula:

= 13 holes :507, that is, 507+ 1:5023

=4 turns-i-4 holes position of marker 2. Sector arms are set 3. No sector ring movement that is movement of the annulus H2, is required for any gain or lose number divisible by 10 or 8, in case of a 40 to 1 reduction head. 30 is divisible by 10, therefore pin |34 need never be Withdrawn.

4. Differential scale setting: 30G Pointer l1 will point to 30th line of scale 16 of the G or Gain slideway 14. 30 holes to be gained to make division come out even. Slide block 69 is transferred to slideway 14. The housing 41 must always be firmly pushed into concavity 86 at the time of tightening the screw 61 to secure the radius.

Sequence of operation is as follows: Sixteen divisions of 30 holes each are laid off by sector arms along spiral which brings pin to 480th hole of spiral. The marker must be over-run three holes to complete 17th division.

Set the lock |08 and return pin 4I to rest 86. It will exactly register with the third hole of the spiral. Insert pin in hole, release lock |08 and bring up sector arms for 18th division. Proceed as before. Foregoing is almost exactly like dividing with a conventional divider.

It is conceivable that the disk 28 shown in Fig. 2 with the circular row of holes 38 on front and back face, Fig. 3, while concentric may each have a different number so that these circular rows of holes on the front and the rear face of the disk may be used as the ordinary dividing head plate having circular concentric rows of pin holes.

The marker |04 above referred to, as shown in Fig. 5, consists of a stem having a head |04, the stem being conformed to iit snugly in any one of the holes of the spiral rows 45. The marker must be inserted in the hole following the final hole of the group so that it will so indicate this final hole.

It is obvious that various changes and nidiiications may be made to the details of construction without departing from the general spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
